I worked today to fix my BIL's plasma TV. I had to replace a couple of

anyone recommend a decent soldering/desoldering setup.

i

any temperature controlled soldering iron - I use Weller, next to me is
one of the first ones that has served me well, ones like the EC3002 are
common at swap meets and are excellent. Get a plunger type solder
sucker (with a teflon tip) and you are good to go - now if you will work
on SMT, then you need hot air, though I've done some SMT repair (Like my
cell phone) with my iron
